Jake McGowan takes on a case he never expected. His client is the ex-wife of his most hated enemy, a wealthy man Jake has sworn to destroy. She needs help in a bitter custody fight, and Jake sees his chance for perfect revenge. Meanwhile, world-champion skier Gavin Doel returns to Taylor's Crossing after years of superstardom. The woman who broke his heart still lives there, and he wants answers about why she left him without explanation. His bitterness runs deep, but so does his need to uncover the truth. Across Oregon, developer Brandon Scarlotti comes back to Rimrock with no family ties and no commitments. His professional success means nothing compared to the unresolved feelings he carries for Dani Stewart. He left this town once, but his emotions for her never changed. Now he has a second chance to understand what destroyed their relationship, though the truth may transform both their futures forever.
